Gove was a disaster. He should have been booted out a long time ago. At least he cannot do any more damage now, and even better we don't see the odious twerp on TV anymore.

"And they have to deal with the pessimists who every year say exams are getting easier"
Oh I wouldn't dream of saying anything like the negative rant from the poster above who thinks he's an ice cream. I'd just say that what with the results getting better and better, infinitely , over the last 29 years there is plentiful evidence of extra terrestrials endowing our youth with superhuman intelligence........
..or something like that.

Having seen the negative effect Gove's plans had on my daughter's studies half way through her GCSE's and how hard her and her friends had to work to get over this disruption and get the results she needed, then anyone who - like you - implies that GCSE's are getting easier is talking drivel.
GCSE's may well be DIFFERENT to what you and I did at school, but to simply imply that they are EASIER is an insult to the kids who have worked so hard to achieve good grades.

They're easier. Not that I sat GCSE's. They were "O"-levels then. Some maths question were lately published. I sweated blood, being an "arts" person, to pass O-Level maths. I wouldn't have needed to had the questions been GCSE maths.
And in 1965 3 "A"'s at A-Level was genius country
I wouldn't wish to insult the "kids". They get what the politicos foist on them. And it certainly sounds as though there's been a lot of vacillation lately as the premier schools abandoned GCSE for the International Baccalaureate and frightened them. After all, as Blair said "ejukashun, ejukashun, ejukashun"

Your repartee is so exquisite little ice cream , that you clearly have numerous starred GCSE's and your children will make a great success of their lives by following in father's footsteps and harrumphing "drivel" and "bah Gove" at regular intervals.
Poor little dabs.

Do you have anything at all worthwhile to say ?? If my children follow in my footsteps, they will have a very successful life thankyou very much. But please continue proving my comment is correct, if it makes you feel good.
